The writer placing the blame for inflation and the high cost of gasoline and other items on the Biden administration is so typical among many Americans who have a Sesame Street understanding of geopolitics.
Unfortunately for them, the United States is not the center of the universe. There is a whole world out there (which many Americans are totally unaware of) competing to purchase the same goods now from supply chains that have been further interrupted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The invasion has led to sanctions on imports of Russian oil and soon-to-be-felt food shortages because Ukraine's exports of wheat, corn, sunflower seed oil, etc. will be severely impacted.
Yes, be informed, but don't be lazy and blame all your perceived injustices on your government.
